Cat Burrito Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Alice Cooper has just announced that on his November UK tour this year he will be joined by the original band! Result! I was a huge Dennis Dunaway fan in my teens/ twenties. What a tour to catch him on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Hopefully get a ticket for that. Should be an epic performance. Dennis was one of my influences as a teenager. His style and technique was way beyond my capapbilities at the time and i was in awe of him. And he was a cool looking dude into the bargain. Fantastic.

tony_m Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Mate of mine was lucky enough to catch DD playing with Blue Coupe (Albert & Joe Bouchard, DD + others) at a book signing in the US last year. He got some great pics with the Man Himself, and also appears in the video of "Eighteen" someone shot at the event (black t-shirt / brown strides, front row, standing up at 4:07). Definitely one of those "wish I'd been there too" moments...

jacko Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 there's been some youtube footage of the original band from some shows recently - sounding great. I'll be seeing if there's any tix left for Glasgow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vantagepointrocks Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Will the original band be doing the whole gig, or just joining him on stage for a few numbers? I believe they have recorded a new EP together that comes bundled with the new album, which I assume doesn't feature the original players.

Still, a huge boost in interest from me now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Nada Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I love Dennis - my favourite bassist. Also a huge contributor to the original AC visuals, concept, presentation. All clues suggest the original band will be playing for just part of the set. I'm definitely going to try to get to the Manchester show.

Cato Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I'm almost tempted to break my 'no arenas' gig rule for this. I saw Alice live 4 or 5 times in my youth, but I think the original line up split about a year after I was born. It would be great to see them live.

Cato Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) According to this it's going to be a 'mini set' from the original band. http://www.barclaycardarena.co.uk/whats-on/alice-cooper On the plus side The Mission are supporting.

Cat Burrito Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 As suspected http://teamrock.com/news/2017-06-14/alice-cooper-reunites-original-band-for-uk-tour I don't care, the chance to see AC play with Dennis and Neal is HUGE for me. My wife and I saw the band in 2013 and they were great. Having seen the reformed Kiss struggle through a 2hr performance with the quite frankly amateur Ace and Peter I think a mini set is the way forward. This really has made my day.
